(单词翻译:单击)

A: Is anybody home? It's me--Hannah.
B: Hey, Hannah. How's everything going?
A: My garbage disposal isn't working.
B: Can you be a little more specific?
A: Nothing happens when I turn on the switch.
B: Do you remember how it started?
A: about a week ago I noticed a new sound.
B: You didn't drop a fork or anything into it, did you?
A: I don't use it very often. When I do use it, I put only soft food into it.
B: I've heard that disposals need to be run frequently.
A: That's interesting. I never heard that before.
B: Have you tried to turn it manually using the key?
A: I don't have a key, and I wouldn't know how to use it.
B: I've got an extra key. I'll show you how to use it.
A: I'm always willing to learn something new. Come on over.
B: The key might not work. Then I'll have to call the plumber.
A: If it works or doesn't work, it doesn't matter much to me.
B: Yes, but I prefer to fix things now instead of later.
